"Nice legs, Darkness. What time do they open?"

The words, a low tenor in an unfamiliar voice from behind him preceded by an indecent whistle, had a shiver running up his spine and a hand tightening involuntarily on the knife he was sharpening. It was a pickup line Maverick had heard before, and one he had decked or verbally destroyed everyone he had heard it come out of the mouth of. It was one thing for someone to ask him to hook up, and that was what he preferred; the direct approach, free of such useless fluff and coy pandering.

Even worse, somehow the man behind him had snuck up on him; Maverick hated that. No one snuck up on him; he snuck up on other people. Folks who snuck up on him had a bad habit of ending up dead.  

Of course, once he spun around and assessed the situation, it was obvious as to how he had done it. He recognized him, not only from having seen him around base in the short few days he had been there, but by word of mouth. In the circles he ran in, political and military meshed in with average rich folks with a score to settle, Kazuhira Miller was dwarfed only by the Boss himself in terms of reputation. Big Boss had specifically warned him, even, about this particular scenario.

He was handsome, Maverick would give him that, all blonde hair and lean muscle and masculine angles and the tease of eyes shielded by dark glass. He wasn't shy about how his own eyes flitted over his body, taking him in, and it only made the commander's cocky grin grow wider. At once, the assassin thought about kissing it and wiping it right off his smug face.

A low laugh, sardonic in its brevity, filtered into the air between them.

"You spend all night coming up with that, Commander? I'm impressed." Sarcasm dripped thick from him, a smirk pulling up the corners of his own mouth.  

"Sure did. Could definitely think of some things I'd rather spend my night doing, though." He wasn't even shaken from his confidence a little by Maverick's pointed comeback, even as the space between them shrunk. When had he stepped closer? It was like there was a magnetic pull between them, as ridiculous as that was. He knew better than to get attached and make something out of nothing, and especially not when dealing with a man like this, who had probably had half this base and could have them again whenever he wanted, who only wanted to add him to that number like a trophy.

Still, it had been a while since he had fooled around with someone who might be worth his time. What could a roll in the sack hurt, in the long run?

"Mmmnn, anything to keep you from spouting more lines." The grin on his face only widened. How long had his heart been racing? He would absolutely blame that on being snuck up on, on the only barest supression of his killer instinct. That had to be all it was, right? Of course that was all it was.

"Seems like they worked well enough to me." That overconfident grin still hadn't left him, and it was equal parts stunning and infuriating.

2. Does your insert have a very strong relationship with a f/o, maybe more than one? Tell us a little about the dynamic they have! This can be a bond that’s romantic, familial, or platonic, anything - even an enemy would count as a strong relationship!

this is such a weird question. do people make self inserts for things other than selfshipping?? anyway. obviously his main dynamic is w kaz; they compliment each other in a lot of ways.. both kind of work too hard, in different ways, and find solace and relaxation in each others presence-- something that only becomes stronger over the years. they never really stop being playful and easygoing-- maverick can get away w saying a lot of things to kaz that probably nobody else could, and vice versa. the obnoxious pda couple to a fault, even if they get a bit quieter about it as they get older. 

mavericks other strong connection, as you already know, is to big boss. he never really had a lot of strong older male figures in his life that weren’t horrendous, and good ol john snake fits that older brother role to a t-- at least for a while. mostly they just train-- its how they communicate. maverick considers it an accomplishment if he can make him laugh. once in a blue moon trauma is mutually discussed, acknowledged and then never brought up again until the next time it happens.  

3. Who in their canon are they closest to? Who would they drop everything to come help, if anyone? Who’s the person they’re least close to? Who would they most likely not get along with, if anyone?

obviously kaz again. theres nothing mav wouldnt do for his husband up to and including die and commit violent murder. as for like.. people he doesnt like. hm. dunks on huey. ocelot can choke. next question 

12. Is your insert a loner, or do they prefer crowds? Do they warm up easily, or do they tend to take longer to befriend others? What kinda people do they get along with? Who are they likely to be uncomfortable with?

definitely a loner-- he didn’t really do relationships longer than like. one night stands before meeting kaz. crowds are good for blending into but hes definitely more of a solitary guy. he keeps people at arms length Often. he likes people who can take his sarcasm and keep up with him, and people who dont take his jokes too seriously and get all bummed out. anyone who tries to make him confront his Large Amount Of Trauma against his will is on his shitlist-- or just anyone too stuck up and serious in general. 

13. What are your insert’s goals? Their hopes and dreams for the past/future/present! Do they intend to achieve no matter what? Could anything stop them, big or small?

GOALS.... cant say he really had many before msf. his only goal was ..... not to die, really. keeping himself alive was a big focus, just surviving long enough to... survive. id say his larger goal that maybe even he didnt acknowledge was to kind of... reclaim his life from the hands of his father. over time, he kind of does this without realizing it, and his goal in life becomes to protect the optimistic peaceful world that kaz believes in-- even if sometimes neither of them believe in it. hes very determined fjdslfl 

14. Does your insert have any family relations? How do they get along? How do they disagree? Is it a biological family? Adopted? Or is it found family? How did this family come together, if it was one of the last two?

not at first. his parents are both dead and he killed one of them fdsjkfl you could say he eventually gains a family-- kaz and their kids and solid and otacon. havent decided how much of all that is canon BUT. yknow 

15. Does your insert have any enemies? What’s that dynamic like? Why are they enemies? Did they ever get along in the past? Is patching up differences out of the question for the future?

ENEMIES... his dad maybe ?? JFDSFKL ranger ford is a bastard who made his life hell every for 17 years and the world was a better place the instant he died jfdlsf
